Hi I recently purchased this build and I only started to put it together late this evening, Fired it up and I get this error below.

"windows has encountered a problem communication with a device connected to your computer.

This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then re-start your computer.

IF you continue to receive this error message contact the hardware manufacturer."

I then took the hard drive out of my PC in my signature below and plugged in and in booted to windows and worked fine no problems!

So this must be a dead hard drive? now I'm no expert and presume I need to do nothing to the hard drive but plug it in and switch on the PC?

Strage one, was this a fresh install on the hard drive, perhaps try another install!

Yes - It's a new drive. Started PC for first time checked the bios everything detected, Put the CD in the drive. Restarted PC then get windows is loading files with the progress bar and within a few seconds it stops and that error pops up?

Hmmm turned out to be a Error with the installation disc.
